Susan Sarandon Rips Democrats for Failure on Stimulus Checks: Don't Be
Surprised When Voters Don't Show Up in 2022

Susan Sarandon is taking President Joe Biden and other Democratic leaders to
task over their failure so far to make good on their campaign promises to
deliver $2,000 stimulus checks to Americans hit hard by the coronavirus
pandemic.
The Oscar-winning actress delivered a social media ripping that also
targeted Vice President Kamala Harris and Georgia Sens. Raphael Warnock and
Jon Ossoff. “Where are the $2K checks you promised,” she demanded. At a time
of widespread economic hardship, the $600 difference “is a matter of
survival” for many Americans.
Susan Sarandon fired off a series of tweets Thursday aimed at Democratic
leaders who had pledged to voters that they would send out $2,000 stimulus
checks if elected to office. Instead, President Biden is pushing for $1,400
checks as part of his $1.9 trillion spending plan.
The actress warned that Democrats risk losing elections in 2022 and 2024 if
they fail to deliver on their promises.
“If voters feel like Dems are pulling a bait and switch, don’t be surprised
when they don’t show up in 2022 or 2024,” she tweeted, adding, “Is it really
worth it to lose Dem voters in 2022 and 2024 over $600?”
When a Twitter heckler pushed back by calling her a “hard core leftist
ideologue,” Sarandon shot back sarcastically: “If Dems lose in 2022 and 2024
it’s because I Tweeted and not because voters who desperately need $2,000
think they lied.”
Unlike most left-wing celebrities, Sarandon is willing to criticize
Democratic leaders over issues including fracking and never-ending wars in
the Middle East, both of which she opposes. The actress famously spoke out
against Hillary Clinton’s 2016 run for the White House, calling the
candidate “very dangerous.”
